Title: Can someone shed light on this? <WSB SPOILER> Post by: tufty on September 11, 2008, 05:21:56 AM http://www.visordown.com/motorcyclenews/view/wsb_xaus_team_apologises_over_podium_wobbly/5507.html
Was Xaus DQ'd? I watched both races but didn't see or hear about this. Title: Re: Can someone shed light on this? Post by: JDS 07 S4Rs on September 11, 2008, 06:56:00 AM I watched the races as well. I dont quite understand how they can DQ him.

I dont quite understand how they can DQ him. bikes have to report to impound/parc ferme within 5 minutes of the race end. i believe he crashed on/after the last lap, so he wasn't able to make it. he's listed as "not classified" in the final results.

Dumb question, but since Max didn't know he was on the podium was his bike in parc ferme? I guess my question is do ALL bikes go to parc ferme or just the winners? hey, I said it was a dumb question ... Title: Re: Can someone shed light on this?
